Read Ephesians 5:8-14

8You yourselves used to be in the darkness, but since you
have become the Lord’s people, you are in the light. So you must live like
people who belong to the light, 9for it is the lighth
that brings a rich harvest of every kind of goodness, righteousness, and truth.
10Try to learn what pleases the Lord. 11Have nothing to
do with the worthless things that people do, things that belong to the
darkness. Instead, bring them out to the light. 12(It is really too
shameful even to talk about the things they do in secret.) 13And
when all things are brought out to the light, then their true nature is clearly
revealed; 14for anything that is clearly revealed becomes light.i
That is why it is said:

“Wake up, sleeper,

and rise from death,

and Christ will shine on you.”

Think

Paul reminds his readers to live in the light, and not in darkness.He reminds us - when we bring our darkness
into the light - God shines upon us and turns that darkness into light.

Pray

Lord I bring you those things that I don't like to share with others.Shine your light even into the darkest
places, transform me.
